Nice, I used to own a car with twin Dellorto carbs DHLA40's from memory fitted to a 2ltr Ford SOHC motor. 8)

Check out these bad boys, they ruled the racetracks here in the 70s http://static.shop033.com/UserFiles/2024-Files/image/Valiant_Chrysler_Charger_triple_webers_hemi_six_245_265_AussieSpeed.jpg
Mel,
My first thought when I saw you pictures reminded me of the old days when I had an engine with Weber side draft carbs. I used to be a master at blue printing Holley carbs. I have to cycle around to each of my passions for economic reasons.

Our other passion would be an interesting topic.

Oh man that takes me back used to run 2 of those on a 1600cc Fiat 125T I used to race in my younger days. Now I have a boat so no money for car racing.
in this age(again) of turbos, the sound of a normally aspirated engine, with multiple carbs or ITBs can be compared with spring actuated dogs...just plain music to my ears.. :) ::)

i should have written normally aspirated engines instead of carbureted engines because ITBs is also on my bucket list... :) :) :)
If anybody in the USA has a 69 Mach 1 or fastback Mustang for sale I would be keen. Preferably a small block one.

No...Sold it and picked up a 1969 Charger...My Chic car for high school...Should have kept them both >:(
I had this 72 Impala for 20 years. I sold it a couple years back. 400 small block. I pulled my boat with it and you couldn't even tell it was back there.

OH MY!!!
This my other passion...2003 Springer ... It was stock gunmetal blue with 3 miles on it when purchased...At 500 miles I tore it down to the frame and built it back with a 100 ci motor 6 speed trans and did everything myself except for the paint...Sold it to pay bills after a car fell on me at work in 2006 >:( >:( >:( They will still be selling bikes when I am ready to ride again.
